In fact, I wrote 2,300 words today in my new series, and I feel like I'm back to my old self. Just writing for the fun of it. The first draft is the best. After that, it's all work (but still has its highlights).

It will be exciting to see my new book on the shelves. I'll be calling the bookstores every day and asking if it's in yet (this is old news to them). Then I'll be rushing over to buy a copy. Yes, I get some author copies from my publisher, but there's nothing cooler than buying a book that YOU wrote. Well, at least the first time it comes out. After that, it's just another promotional expense.

I'll post the reviews here as they trickle in, so you won't have to wait in suspense.

Congratulations! The book hitting the shelves, the fourth in her Out of Jerusalem series, is amazing. I absolutely loved it! Of course, I reached new levels of disgust and anger with Laman and Lemuel. Someone once told me I should try and see it from their point of view. To which I replied . . . well, I can't remember exactly what I replied, but it was very witty, I can assure you.
